Out of curiosity, any forumers vested in this, or went to the actual site before? 50% E&O, 25% Khazanah, 25% Temasek Holdings collaboration. Terrace starting price is S$388k, and they are selling at Four Seasons Hotel this weekend.

Curious about the build quality, but too busy this weekend to pop by to kaypoh.

Beware!
I was told that Medini properties are mostly 99-years leasehold!
I tried looking at your link and no where was it mentioned whether it is freehold (as almost all Malaysia properties are) or 99-years leasehold (as I was told).............

Yes you are right, Confirm 99 years!
Don't ever buy 99 years LH in Malaysia because no locals will buy from you in future

I have done a paper evaluation for this project.
E&O builds with quality but their properties come with a very high price tag as compare to others.
The land area is really too small, and too many units...in term of investment...very poor return I supposed.
In term of own stay....not shoik

It is better to buy a bigger landed Semi-D or D instead of this.
Some Semi-D / D there are really good.....I love the space...but no plan to buy

I have a semi-d freehold (gated and guarded compound) in Iskandar which is about 15mins walk to Aeon mall, with a built up area of more than 4000sqft and bought for MYR 0.95M many years back. Considered exp when I first got it, though pricing is alright in today's context.

Sigh the house came with tonnes of defects, roof leaked after a while, electrical loading was not properly done, even earthing of the live wires and lightning protection was not done. 😂 Nothing is shocking after a while. I replaced all the water pipes, replaced all the floor tiles, imported my own materials from Singapore and redid the interior. Sigh I won't go through this kind of mega exercise again. Hubs and I told ourselves that the next time we buy anything in MY, the builder is of utmost importance. Hence got interested when I saw that E&O is launching this. Price tag is reasonable, but tenure is a bit off. But then again, MY is always for self stay and enjoyment, rather than for investment.

Ah, even for E&O, a famous quality builder, many things become problems after defect period.

I am so sick of all these problems, and to a certain extent, no time to address....really give up

On top...borrowing cost is much higher in My and M$ is depreciating...

Agree.

Having said that, I do regret paying up for the Malaysian property in full (at exchange rate of 2.5) rather than taking a loan. Had I taken a loan, the place would have cost me abt S$300k, rather than S$376k.
